Peg Parnevik – Loafers

“This is not a healthy relationship.”

Tim: So there’s a guy on Love Island this year called Adam, who’s a complete slag, leaving one girl as soon as another hot one comes in; he’s three girls in after just two weeks, but the girls keep going with it because he’s fit af.

Tom: That is a very ‘you’ sentence, Tim.

Tim: Thank you – I like to keep things on brand round here. But anyway, Peg’s basically written a song about being one of those girls.

Tim: I mean, where to start? “Never cleans a single dish, at least the guy is well-equipped” kind of sums it up, and, you know, I can sympathise with that, both the reasoning and the overall picture. After all, if you’re happy where you are, it’s hard to move on, however unsustainable you know it will end up being in the long run.

Tom: “He’s not cool, but it’s easy.” This is not a healthy relationship, but I suspect it’s relatable to a lot of people.

Tim: And when that’s all wrapped up in such fantastic music – the chorus is just wonderful, with that melody underneath it, and you’ve got the voice bringing a lovely Dua Lipa vibe to it and the instrumentation bringing a…well, also quite a Dua Lipa vibe.

Tom: Yeah, I was going to say.

Tim: In fact this is basically a Dua Lipa track, and a really really good one at that. Love it. Almost as much as I love Adam.

Tom: Mate.
